Dear Felipe,
 I am not using any water molecules from the pdb file but your e-mail
and the link were very informative.

Dear Axel,
I really found a couple of different looking water molecules.

You said that

i don't know. you have to track down which files and scripts
you have used to build your final .psf file. it is impossible to
tell from remote where this has happened. i would be very
careful to check it, as there is a finite chance, that something
else might be wrong.
"

I agree that there can be always something wrong. But why just for a
couple of water molecules which are far away from the protein. That is
what I don't understand.
If the script was doing something wrong shouldn't be all water
molecules problematic?

Best,

Mert
